Some time ago told you about the
trouble 4 st. Paul youth got into with
his two sweethearts through putting
in the wrong letters in the wrong en-
velopes. The whisperer was recently
told bya young man of an almost
similar case which has local interest.
1t seems this Young fellow had u
friend who was engaged to most
estimahle young lady. with whom
many gilded youths IN st. Paul have
danced the german and been, without
exception, charmed by her grace of
manner. Her fiancee, who discovered
that he was not as much IN love rs he
first supposed. wrote letter to his
confdant describing the hazy state Of
his affections, and also celebrating
with good deal Of detail some rather
wild shines" he had been having
lately in a distant place where he was
yisiting-tales. however. interesting
to the masculine reader. hardly OF a
character to please ones fiancee. At
the same time he wrote to his sweet
heart. The letters were MIXED. The
chum got the letter intended for the
sweetheart. and vice verca. Result.
much weeping, more profanity, u very
crestfallen young man, and two hearts
that beat apart instead of together.
And undoubtedly there are lots OF
similar cases that we never hear off,

Death of worthy Taylor.

Died, at his old home, in Aurora
on the 10th day of January, Worthy
Taylor, aged 80 years and days.
One of those iron men who came
from their homes in the East to this
then almost unknown wilderness, and
changed it into the pleasant land OF
comfortable homes and we'll cared for
farms that we see today, has gone.
Worthy Taylor was born in Hamp-
shire county, Mass, Jan. 10th, 1897,
and in 1907 came with his fathers
family, consisting of Samuel Taylor,
ST., and Sarah Jaeger Taylor, his wife.
Samuel Jr., Worthy, Royal and Mar
Gus, sons, and Sally and Rebecca,
daughters. from the rough hills of
Western Massachusetts to try and find
better homes among the heavy forests
of the Western Reserve of eighty
years ago. In 1917 he was married to
Miss Harriet Kent, by whom he had
seven children, who, with one excep
ton, are still alive. At the settlement
of his fathers estate he came in pos
session of part of the old homestead,
where, except at short intervals he
has since resided. Twice, after his
first wife died, he has risked the
chances of matrimony, the first time
with Mrs. Darrow, of Stow, and
again, after her death, with the widow
McCune, of Akron, who survives him.
Mr.. Taylor was one of the best
known and most generally respected
men of the township. The Oldest per-
son in the town, and with the excep-
ton OF his brother Marcus, the Oldest
resident, he has seen the place grow
up from its smallest beginnings in the
original forest to the position it now
occupies, and in that growth he has
taken no inconsiderable part, but was
ever associated in all schemes, relig-
ious or secular, to advance the best in
terests of his town, During the early
days of the Disciple Church in this
place he became one of its principal
members. and for fifty-five years has
kept up that connection. For twenty
eight years he held the Office of JUS
tice of the Peace, and at different
times has served his fellow townsmen
in every place within their gift. In
politics he wos first a Federalist, then |
a Whig, and afterwards Republican
He leaves two brothers, all that re
